Disallowing PHP execution in a subdirectory with apache

[symss]

Just wondering what strategies have been used to disallow php execution in a subdirectory with linux/apache 1.3.x/2.x. I've got an upload directory & would like to ensure that php content doesn't get uploaded to the directory and executed.

tks

i think you can do it by associating php files as html in that directory, so any php code will just be outputted to the browser as code

create a file called .htaccess, and in it put

AddType application/x-html .php

note, i said think - i'm not entirely sure

or, you could just chmod the directory to not allow execution
